This is a discussion on Evo Vs. Ferrari 360 Modena within the Comparison: WRX vs World forums, part of the Community - Meet other Enthusiasts category; actually u know what...I kind of thought about it...and I question this race now.....
Ferrari 360 Spider Convertible
Horsepower: 400 ...

lets assume that Spider was stock....and the Evo has the 315awhp (as TSI AWD stated earlier).....well the spider should be putting down 340rwhp-ish assuming its a 15% drivetrain loss from an MR setup.....and include a 6spd transmission (SMG or stick) that i'm pretty sure has alot more aggressive gearing than the 5spd EVO.....and also a lighter curb weight to boot.....how does the spider lose so badly from a roll (especially at those higher speeds of 120mph)? I mean I understand if they were neck to neck or maybe the spider losing by half a car....but it looks like the spider got worked from 100mph and above! whats up with that?

Either the Ferrari driver screwed up or he wasn't trying. From a dig, the Evo should win (if he really has 332whp), but from a roll there is no way he could beat it. Modena's trap ~113mph. I don't know much about Evo's but i don't think this one is capable of trapping that high.

Evo witht those mods can trap higher and CERTIANLY has more torque to get the gettin going

The Spyder also lets off when he see's he is losing, then teh Evo slows down.

oops my bad....I thought the stats of the EVO at the bottom of your first post was YOUR EVO and YOUR SIGNATURE.....so i assumed since you said u have 15whp more than him....i subtracted 15 and came up with 315whp....my bad....

i trapped 114mph with my setup, so i think the evo owner in the vid should be close to 110 - 112 maybe.

Those guys are complete assholios, I mean what the fvck, I cant watch the video but the one guy thinks he is better than someone who talks differently than him. I would like to send him to a nice little alley in the South Bronx after 11 pm, watch him soil his pants and tell everyone how great he thinks they are

As for the race without watching it, the Ferrari driver wasnt trying, I have been owned by one, and a viper, I would need like at least 450-500 horses to even try and keep up, I have kept with a 448 but that is a slow Ferrari, not a 360.

As for assclown handsdown or whatever, anyone who wished death on someone they dont know, deserves to die in the way they wished upon the other. And I can almost guarantee that anyone who owns one of these cars (WRX, STi, Evo, SRt-4) we have all raced someone on the street at least once, and to say you havent is a lie, even if you only went 90 in a 65, it counts. I am all about racing someone on the street, IF there is no traffic, so blind sideroads or hills, and I know the road ok. If you have all that why not, you shouldnt be racing if you cant handle your car at 3 digit speeds anyhow, youll get tested the first time you melt your rotors when you see a cop goin 135

Ferrari has FAR BETTER Areo Dynamics as it creates MORE downforce with NO WING, no that's amazing. But their drag CE are the same. Now id you mod an Evo with a nice drop and a chin spoilier and rear diffuser and so on, well you got a good race going.

You can't just compare drag co-efficients, can you? Don't you calculate actual drag by measuring front surface area and then multiply it by the drag co-efficient or something like that? I would say the Ferrari, with its thinner nose and better gearing should easily hit its top speed before the Evo.

Not to mention mad amounts of low end torque that the evo doesnt have, tires that are just about as wide as the evo, wider/lower stance, and all the hand built precision that is a Ferrari, not a DSM with a voided warranty. (nothing against evo's the only reason I dont have one is cus the dealer sold one a guy traded in for an expediton and were selling it with 4000 miles for 22,500 the day B4 I went shopping). The Ferrari would hit you from the whole shot all the way till it hit 180 or so... AWD or no, those fat stickies on that Italian artwork would grab and go, so at best you would not fall back too fast, but if he tried all the way and wasnt like shi+ I cant wreck my dad/brother/boss/uncle's car, then all you would have seen is tail lights. I win races against M3's all the time I am at the light I rev then I go, those bastards dont stand a chance, and maybe one day one will actually have a driver in it

Are you kidding? My Evo puts down 350 FP's at 3500 RPMS, a C5 Vette puts down LESS Torque to the wheels at a HIGHER RPM, The stock turbo on the Evo fully opened up and tune, man it just SPOOLS FAST. Full spool for me at 3000 RPMs, usable boost at about 2400 RPMS, under that nothing But I just thought it was funny I have more low end torque and peak torque then a Vette.

BTW that Ferrari has NO low end either, makes only 260 CRANK FP's and you gotta REV THE HELL out of it to get that torque, Evo trumps it easily in the Torque department, Even stock.

not a DSM with a voided warranty

Ok cuz the Evo shares parts with a DSM . It is 100% different in that it uses a completely revised motor and none of the parts would work cept maybe the injectors. Warranty? Mine has help but I have never had the chance to use it Nothing EVER broke on my car unless I broke it, like my stock clutch when I ran 350WHP through it . But that above is an extremely biased statement.

he Ferrari would hit you from the whole shot all the way till it hit 180 or so... AWD or no

AWD or no, those fat stickies on that Italian artwork would grab and go

Ever try launching a car with a stiff suspension and a VERY HIGH torque curve? You get 1 of 2 things, a BOG or you spin your tires. The best launch still needs you to break traction. If that race was from a stop, that Ferrari would a got it worse.

Great run man. I personally witnessed Rollaway's (NY area) Evo8 HOUSE a 360 in the mile (and obviously the 1/4). It was amazing... poor ferrari owner.

I saw Rollaway's car at the track, FYI it Trapped at 108 MPH, IN THE 1/8th About 140MPH for the 1/4, that would school a Ferrari Enzo UP to about 199MPH and then the Enzo would zip by to about 222MPH.

All said and done I would rather have a Ferrari even though THAT Evo is faster and handles better. I am not doubting a Ferrari but a 360 can be takin out, no the F430 is a ***** and I would need me a bigger trubo or race gas to beat it, it has a 120+ MPH trap and close to 200MPH top end.
